I agree with you on the 1st 2 paragraphs, cause their disregard for most of our complaints and issues can be off the chart, but from then on...
bisaacs1963:About two months ago, one of the changes WGT made to the game physics was to reduce the amount of spin that players got out of deeper lies - 30-40% and deeper - in order to, as they claimed help newer players and to provide a more realistic game experience. ALL OF THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY HAD TOUTED AND SOLD BALLS AND EQUIPMENT WHOSE BENEFITS INCLUDED BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE BALL BETTER OUT OF PRECISELY THESE TYPES OF LIES. I don't know about you, gentle reader, but that sounds like WGT doesn't give a hoot about making their game better. Only making more money even at the expense of shitting on players who have been loyal and spent money on their site for years. And that's just one example.
That (for me) is a bad example. I for one kind of like that an iron shot from 30-40 rough can no longer stop dead from 160 yards away. Makes the game just a tad more realistic and makes you pay a little more attention.
The part I bolded makes no sense at all. Not sure how many buy better balls mainly because their stopping ability from the rough, cause that's a very small part of the game. To be honest, if you must take more than 3 or 4 shots from the rough in an 18 hole round, you're wasting money on good balls anyway.
bisaacs1963: WGT, if you want me to believe that you are interested in making the game better, why don't start by addressing the game logic's ability to synchronize player screens to that meter issues are minimized?
I'm no IT expert, but I think much of the problem lies in how flash reacts with your OS. Win 8 (partly W7 and Vista as well) is awful for a smooth meter and for timely clicks, it usually stops a day after you click the mouse. That's why so many people need to jump through hoops (settings, different browsers, etc.) to get it to work properly. On the other hand, if you try to play on W XP on any old cluttered PC, you'll find that the meter is mostly smooth as silk. I've played on numerous machines in my time here and only the ones with XP were decent (without tweaks) to play on.
bisaacs1963: Here's a recent problem: the server says "one hit left on ball", then you get the new ball, and it immediately draws the new ball down to one hit.
Well, if that is true, it's terrible. However, this is the 1st I've ever hear someone say that, nor did I ever experienced it myself (burned through 21 balls since they released this new message). And until I see this issue documented (recording, screenshot, etc.) and until I get a confirmation of your sobriety and memory capability) at that time, I'm not sure I can believe that.
But again, I agree with you on the first part of your post.
bisaacs1963: Get back to me if you have anything other than flat denials which, experienced players all know very well, are simply lies.
Obviously false.
